conjuring fantasies and dreams

My mind starts to conjure a slew of fantastical stories. One dream was about an ancient Irish man who fled to Scotland before the nations had formed. While in Scotland, he fell in love with a English woman and therefore my passion for the U.K and Ireland was a lingering feeling from these ancient times. I must admit the dreams were quite intriguing, despite their unrealistic tendencies. I also thought of how we carry parts of everyone around us throughout life. I once fell in love with an Italian who deeply enjoyed soccer. I took it upon myself to learn as much as I could about soccer so that I may understand his passions. It was only through this process and research that I too grew an appreciation for the game. I still celebrate my Italian heritage and these fond memories by wearing an Italian soccer jersey and bracelet. I find this celebration not common in Ireland and people often become confused if I wear dual nationality items such as a Germany t-shirt and Ireland jumper. I even had somene ask me what language I speak.
